New to Gen 5 see no difference from Gen 4
Did some testing starting a 5:30Am here and speeds look good but the charts where terrible. This last one was at 8am do see what it looked like when I went from bonus to regular time. IF I had this dat flow on a regular basis even if the speed dropped during peak I would be very happy.
Unfortuanely this is the exception NOT the rule. The rates during a single run of the test are usually all over the map, typically over 80% variance. As a process engineer I would say the system is NOT under control. Not sure whre the data is controlled but would expect it to be at the main office not local. So I suspect the tech will not be able to do much except maybe point me to a better Sat.
Can one of the techs on here explain how the data is supposed to be controlled? I really don't care to see bursts over 100MB when it next drops to 5MB even if it gives me a 30MB average. This seems like it would be jacking everybodys data rates around.
Hopefully the tech will be able to resolve your issue at tomorrow's visit.
On a side note, you should consider installing an ad blocker to save some data. The data used by ads on web pages can really add up, no pun intended. uBlock Origin seems to be a popular one these days.
Thanks for the info on add blockers. Yahoo is killing me with the video popups that load automatically. Supposedly there is some place in IE. I can turn that off but no luck finding it yet.
